After debuting in Toronto in November/ December of 2011, The Fuel of Life is gearing up to start touring.
The exhibition is available for display at venues across Canada and we are actively looking for partners who would like to exhibit this stunning show at their location.
Containing over 150 photos covering the complex issue of energy in the 21st century, the show focuses on six aspects of energy; production, distribution, consumption, innovation, conservation and human energy.
The photos were taken by 100 of Canada's best photographers as well as students from schools, colleges and universities across Canada.
If you know of a venue that might like to host the show, please contact us.
The Fuel of Life book has been designed to replicate the exhibition - it pulls out into sections of five pages, allowing you to view the photos as they appear in the show.
The books cost $20 plus shipping and can be ordered by emailing james@photosensitive.com.

PICTURE YOURSELF WELL - HEALING WITH PHOTOGRAPHY
PhotoSensitive photographer, Kelly Gauthier, has recently started an art and photo therapy practice in Toronto.
With an honours degree in stills photography and a master's degree in art therapy, Kelly now focuses on how therapeutic photography can help those living with illness.
She says, "I believe that understanding, acceptance and healing can all be found through photographs and it is the meaning contained within the borders of an image that allows the process to begin."
She offers individual counselling and group workshops.

PHOTOSENSITIVE PHOTOGRAPHERS AND 36 FRAMES
A large number of PhotoSensitive photographers are getting involved in an exciting new photographic project organized by Toronto photographer Peter Martin, entitled 36 Frames.
The idea of the project is for a camera, containing 36 frames on Tri-X film, to travel across Canada and the US and have each of 36 photographers take a self-portrait, using just one frame of the roll. So, no pressure.
The resulting show will be a unique display of self-portraits of some of Canada's best shooters, including PhotoSensitive photographers Andrew Stawicki, Andy Clark, Boris Spremo, Dave Cooper, Dick Loek, Erin Elder, Hugh Wesley, Peter Bregg, Peter Robertson, Steve Simon and Yuri Dojc.
The camera is about to start its travels and we will keep you updated on its progress.
